Thought the Massey deal was really good for dinner around $68 for 15 courses. The chef was fast and kind, the sushi was quality and tasted really good. Really enjoyed this experience. Thought aesthetically it was a bit dark, we ended up being downstairs, but overall thought it was a good experience. Left feeling satisfied, but not overtly stuffed.

The fish tastes warm and the meat is hard to swallow. The waiting time between course is long and no introduction with the dishes. But it’s $50 per person. So if u wanted to eat something special with little money.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing date night at Shiso Omakase! For just $85, we enjoyed an 18-course omakase crafted by Chef Billy. - Miso soup - Bluefin tuna with truffle and uni dressing - Mackerel with sesame dressing and lime zest - Yellowtail with fresh wasabi - Japanese Golden eye snapper with kombu - Aburi salmon - Kampachi with miso paste and ginger - Spanish mackerel with yuzu, pepper, and lemon - Japanese sea bream with lime zest - Hokkaido scallop with ikura and lime zest - Squid with masago - Amaebi with crunchy garlic sauce - Otoro with uni - Unagi - Ikura with lime zest - Hokkaido uni - Toro hand roll - Panna cotta ( make sure to give it a good mix! ) The fish, flown in from Japan, was incredibly fresh, and each nigiri piece was perfectly seasoned and delicious. Our favorites were the bluefin tuna with truffle, the unagi, and the uni. The intimate ambiance made it even more special.

Unfortunately, it looks better than it tastes! Please do not come here for the omakase!! Fish was placed on PIPING hot rice and the rice was not seasoned. Zero flavor!! Fish tasted so warm and unappetizing. Our sushi chef torched every single piece of fish. Even the Toro was torched until it was fully cooked. I had never had Toro cooked well done and it lacked all the flavor you look for in Toro. We actually had to ask the server why every single piece was torched and their response was that it just depends on the chef. There are so many other affordable omakase options in nyc.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Food sucked. Dessert sucked. Service sucked. Atmosphere sucked. Waiters attitudes sucked. Not an authentic omakase by any means. This place has to be not just the worst omakase/sushi place I’ve been to, it is quite possibly the worst restaurant I’ve been to. We got there at 7:40 pm, we had a 7:45p omakase bar reservation and they told us the bar was full. It was a 45 minute wait for the bar. 1st strike. We sit at a table because we’re hungry and wait 30 minutes for the miso which was cold! We then waited an additional 25 minutes to get our platter of nigiri. Not one piece of fish was fresh, they were all chewy, fishy, dry or inedible. The truffle on top tasted like it sat on a shelf for 4 years. The staff were all Americans. Not your typical omakase Japanese staff. 26 years and under. Nasty attitudes even though they didn’t honor our reservation. They didn’t know what each piece of fish was, and when we asked about ikura and uni they said they didn’t know. They didn’t even have it but they didn’t tell us that. We paid $65 for the premium menu of 18 pieces and not one bite was enjoyable. I wanted to spit out the fish multiple times. The ginger also tasted old. We had to beg the sushi chef for sushi ginger. We got there at 7:45 and didn’t eat until 8:45pm. Also the AC was on blast at 63 degrees! There was another woman that got there before us and waited for the bar. She had to curse out the staff and left after waiting over 1.5 hrs for her food which she never got. For $70 go to your local sushi place because I guarantee the fish is fresher than here and actually edible.

I think this place was still finding its footing a bit in the early months (re: service and reservations), hence some of the negative reviews… but I am VERY glad we gave it a try anyway. The fish was fresh, the pacing of the omakase lovely, and you can’t beat the price - I was thrilled to have toro, uni, and other speciality pieces of the day on the menu. Absolutely worth checking out, especially on a weekday when it’s not too crowded.

Bonjour a tous, welcome to New York City I discovered this new restaurant called Moko and I fell in love with the 15 courses, it's a mix between chic and modern design. Great staff, the waitress was available to help understand every single bouchés. I highly recommend 📝🍣

I saw this place on Instagram and found a voucher on Pulsd so I decided to give it a shot, especially after hearing that it's a sister restaurant of a popular omakase, Moko. However, I'm a bit sad to say that it was a bit underwhelming. I loved their service, hospitality, and cleanliness, but it was the quality of the fish that sort of brings these more negative notes out for me. The chef was very kind and I thought he seemed very focused and dedicated to his craft. The waiter was also kind and positive. The main issues I thought could be improved were the variety of fish in the menu. It seemed like there were 3 amberjacks and repeat fish. The uni also tasted a bit soapy and not very fresh which was a shame. I think the rice may not have been seasoned either which I was pretty surprised about. I think there's a lot of room for improvement and I'd be interested in returning someday to see if it does improve. I didn't check the Yelp reviews ahead of time when I had reserved and I do understand some of the reviews now. I also think that there is a lot of competition for omakase restaurants in New York City recently. Many spots are opening up with similar prices like Shiso with prices as low as $80-90 for 15-18 pieces. So it's becoming more affordable which means more competition. I think Shiso will have to make some changes in order to keep up with this growing scene. I've eaten at spots with similar prices and there was more creativity in flavor and more variety. I understand they're relatively new but I hope they're able to read their customers feedback and make the right changes to improve their business. I'd be interested in returning if they do!

My friend and I came here for dinner for their 16 course $85 omakase that includes miso soup and dessert. It took use a few minute to get seated because there was no wait staff/host in sight. When a waitress came out she was extremely friendly and seated us immediately. The omakase set was absolutely worth the $85. So many of the pieces were flavorful and could literally melt in our mouths. I would say each course is pretty classic with a slight twist varying in toppings/accents pieces. Our experience with chef Sxie du (he typed this out but card says Shi Tu) was 5 star all around! He was friendly, entertaining, and easy to have a conversation with. He made dinner an immersive experience and was also informative in explaining what was special about certain pieces. He showed so much care for us and was the highlight of our meal (aside from the actual food ofc) For the duration of our meal, we never saw any wait staff and never got refills on water. At the end of our meal, there was a separate waitress that helped the bill for another couple and we asked for ours but she did not stop and talk but just said something to us in passing that we didn't catch. Our original waitress came back up clearly out of breath and there seemed to be confusion among them on which type of meal we got. The wait staff is probably the reason I provided a 4/5, they seem to be understaffed resulting in lower service for customers. Hope they are able to get the help they need to make this an overall 5 star experience! Setting: extremely clean, they have 2 floors that give 2 types of vibes with the top being light, airy, spacious and the bottom being dark, intimate, and nightclubish

I won an Instagram giveaway that was hosted by Shiso and a food creator. Shiso emailed the food creator to inform them that they would not allow me to claim my giveaway prize because they are afraid I would post a negative review about them. Therefore, they revoked my prize which I won fair and square. This is one of the most unethical things I have seen a business do. For reference, they invited me to their sister restaurant, Moko, in exchange for social media content prior to this happening. I delivered on the exchange and said only positive things about Moko in my content. I never once spoke negatively about their business so they fabricated a lie that I negatively impacted their businesses and said bad things about them. All of this is untrue! It's really scary how the owners are twisting my words when I gave Moko a wonderful review. I said the nigiri was fresh, the interior was gorgeous, and that the service was excellent. I have no clue on earth where they got the idea that I was putting their business down! The owners must have an extremely fragile ego if this is how they handle giveaways and social media relationships. It's honestly such a horrific reflection on their business. Is this how you present yourself to the public? Rest assured, I won't be stepping into Shiso EVER. This 1 star review is strictly about how they treated me on social media. Be warned. This business carries themselves with zero ethics.

This experience went from bad to worse as the evening progressed and unfortunately, I can not recommend dining at this restaurant. I came here on a Friday night with a friend and had a reservation for the sushi counter. Immediately, when we came in there was no hostess and we waited for a waitress to help us which took some time. We were seated at the bar downstairs eventually with very bulky chairs that are very wide so touching the person next to you. The overall decor is almost like a warehouse, very dark finishes with a few tables finished with white table clothes- mostly on the casual side. Once seated, we had to flag down a waitress for utensils, cups, waters, menus, etc etc several times and there was only two of them we saw for the two floor restaurant. We finally ordered the 18 piece omakase for $85 which is a great deal and the waitress told us this option came with sake. We have been to many omakase restaurants and when a set comes with sake that means it actually comes with sake (not in this case). The pieces started coming out and some were great- the tuna with truffle was yummy, the red snapper and sea bass also stood out as solid pieces but not outstanding. Many others were on the fishy side. About 5 pieces into the meal we started to wonder when the sake would be coming out and after flagging someone down she finally brought us a 3/4 full tiny shot glass (this is not how sake is traditionally served. She said they didn't have clean bottles and would bring a bottle once she had it. Probably 6/7 more pieces passed and no sake so we asked the second server. She gave us a terrible attitude and said you can not request sake, it comes with the meal and they only have one bottle left that is being shared by all patrons of the restaurant so they only have so much for everyone. So rude to us when we were asking for something that we were told comes with our meal. When we were wrapping up the mean waitress # 1 finally brought a sake bottle and it was a quarter full - what a joke! At that point just don't bring anything. The whole experience and service really ruined our dining experience and the food was just alright. Pieces are small but it is understandable for the price point. We had to locate someone to pay which of course took time and then she disappeared for 15 minutes with my credit card. We walked upstairs and then back down looking for her, it was ridiculous. When she finally handed me the check she said please give the pen back, this is the only one we have... I really am sorry to say this because I think this place has potential and location is good but they absolutely need to improve the service and overall experience.

I think this place is definitely still getting it's footing. It's very small with about 4/5 tables and about 8 spots at the sushi bar. We made a reservation for a Wednesday evening. It was pretty empty except for another group of 4 at the sushi bar. When we walked in, it was hard to tell who worked there and who didn't so we were standing awkwardly until someone finally asked us if we had a reservation. Everyone that worked there was very nice but still seemed pretty new. We did the 18 course Omakase and were offered sake on the house with it which I appreciated. The There was one chef for me and my friend so the courses. went by very quickly as he was only paying attention to us. He paced the rolls very well - we never felt rushed or as tough it was taking too long. We did get through all 18 courses in about 30 minutes though which is the fastest I've ever had an Omakase even with less courses. The sushi was fine. It's hard to get "bad" sushi in New York but it definitely wasn't the freshest smoothest, most creative Omakase I've had. My favorite pieces were the botan ebi, kanpachi, sea scallop, salmon, unagi, and uni.

AVIOD AT ALL COST!!! This was by far the worst omakase ever. From the moment we walked in, we were not greeted by any server or waitress. They did not have any place for customer to stand and wait, as it was in an open area. Once we were seated the waitress never came to serve us until the very end when we had a few pieces left. When we served sake it looked like the bottle was 1/4 full we pour two sake cups and it was done. The food was presented to us very unappealing, as the chef rushed the 18 course meal that we paid over $100 for. The first item on the list was miso soup, and let me tell you it was drinking from Coney Island beach water. It was overload was salt and the soup wasn't even hot. As for the quality of the pieces, it was disappointing. The pieces all taste bland and chewy and lacking in flavor. We also didn't get all the pieces that was on the menu because the chef told us it too busy tonight so they substituted with multiple of the same pieces on the menu. Food was so disappointing I stop taking pictures.

I honestly feel this place is so unorganized. The waiters and waitresses don't really know what they are doing. At one point I see both waiter and waitress in the kitchen while they have customers coming in and the sushi chef had to greet them and tell them to sit themselves. And then they have someone coming in for an interview during a busy time and one sushi chef who started on their first day and doesn't know where anything is and is asking other sushi chefs who aren't that helpful and telling the new chef to go downstairs and look for stuff. The staff definitely needs more training. On another note the sushi pieces weren't too bad but I just wished they would have put in a little more effort into these pieces. I feel like they just slap the piece of fish or seafood on top of the rice and handed to us. The price we paid for is the quality you get I guess. Interesting experience but I don't think I will be coming back.

$65 for 18 pieces plus a carafe of sake is pretty unbeatable. The fish was fresh and the sushi chefs knowledgeable. The waitstaff was lovely to us and gave us an extra half carafe of sake while we waited for the dessert to set. Even though we sat at the bar, we didn't feel rushed. I admit, I didn't count the courses or compare it to menu but it was a lovely experience. You can tell they are new and figuring it all out. I'm happy to return for 18 pieces of fresh fish while they figure it out

The most affordable omakase spot I've found in the city, 15 courses for $50 or 18 courses for $65! It is a great deal considering the fish is super fresh and flown from Japan.

service need to improve, we order 18 courses they only serve 17 , doesn't want to stay there so we just close bill and go. Food is a lot different in their menu too, hand roll is yellowtail not the otoro on their menu.

Made a reservation for 7pm and was told that all seats were full. We were told we could sit a table or go to their sister restaurant Moko to sit at the bar. We chose to sit at the table since we wanted to try the menu at Shiso. After 30 minutes, we were told to leave and go to Moko for bar seating. After arriving to Moko, the counter was completely full. This experience is one of the worst experiences you could give a customer, and the owners, who look 20 years old and have never run a restaurant, shouldn't really run any restaurant let alone any business. The owners didn't even offer anything or apologize for the inconvenience. You should stay away at all costs.

We were at Shiso for the Valentine's Day omakase and had a lovely time! It was one of the more affordable omakases that we've done and the quality did not disappoint. We were sat at the counter and got to see the chefs work their magic. They have a small counter upstairs that seats about 6 diners with a few tables. It started with a tuna tartar appetizer, followed by 14 pieces of nigiri, a sea bass dish, and a lovely dessert. There was complimentary sake and they also allow you to BYOB for a $10 fee! We ended up grabbing a bottle from a deli down the street. It would be remiss to not mention that it was evident the restaurant was struggling to seat all parties, but this was because Shiso's sister restaurant had overbooked and sent everyone over. I don't think some reviewers understand the level of preparation that goes into a proper omakase. We thought the chefs and the servers all did a fantastic job at making it work, even with the presence of some very rude and childish diners. I have never heard a grown man speak the way that this one man did in the restaurant. He was making an embarrassment of himself and even went to the extent of gathering other Asian diners to berate and harass the server. The way they giggled while rudely speaking to the server is beyond me. If you can't be respectful to wait staff, you shouldn't be dining out. Props to the servers and chefs for pushing through (especially the short brunette server, she handled all of this like a champ) ! We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you all for a lovely evening!

This restaurant has been CLOSED for about a month and a half but the owner Max Goldberger didn't have the courtesy to update Google, close down their reservation systems (Resy), leave a sign on the door, or leave a vm on the phone number to let people know. I found this out after I made a prepaid reservation two weeks beforehand in mid Oct and showed up today to a locked restaurant. Looking at reviews I found out that other clients who had reservations back in Sept also had this experience. See my review at their sister restaurant Moko. https://www.yelp.com/biz/moko-new-york?hrid=DRbn_DqR0tL0Q77Jw1hqwA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_postreview&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)

I implore you to read Yelp reviews as this place has a 2.9 star rating (as I am writing this) for a good reason. We were drawn to this place due to positive social media posts and IG reels (basically fake reviews as influencers are provided incentives to provide positive reviews). This is undoubtedly one of the worst omakase I've had in NYC. We arrived as the first dinner group of the night. However, they were too busy taking "promo food videos" in their upper dining room that they brought us to the lower level. It looked like renovations hadn't even been completed downstairs - it was dark, chairs were still stacked on tables, and the space was not yet fully decorated. We had a kind and friendly sushi chef - he was perhaps the best part of the experience. However, they've discreetly increased their prices from the advertised $50 for 15 pieces to $65 for 15 pieces. We upgraded to the 18 pieces at $85 because the basic menu did not include uni or otoro. Overall the pieces were tiny, the seasoning often overpowered the fish, and the presentation was messy. In addition, service was poor. It felt like Shiso was not a fully operational restaurant. Staff walked around nonchalantly but it would take an incredibly long time for drink refills, dessert, or even the bill. Honestly speaking, this was the worst $110 spent in a long time. At this price point there are infinitely better omakase options in the city - BEWARE of social media hype.

Very nice and welcoming staff. Interior felt like a spa, relaxing music and dim lighting. Food was amazing, we did the 18 course omakase, fish was very fresh and garnished well. Recommend sitting at the counter and watch the master at work. Definitely will be returning!

One of the worst dining experiences period. When I entered, it was so quiet with no music that you can hear a pindrop. No worker was present until for about 5 minutes after we're just standing there. After seating, told them about a nut allergy so they said theyll remove nut toppings for one and keep it for mine. When they both came out, it looked identical so they took away mine to add the toppings but took another 15 minutes.....on top of that, we ordered a 18-piece omakase but only was served 17. Workers seem like they have no idea what is going on because one of the workers asked me how to turn on the music when I went to use the bathroom. They did give us a discount for the missing piece which is why I gave 2 stars. Worst experience ever and would not recommend this place to anyone.

Yelp
For only $50, you get 15 incredible courses here of the freshest and most high end fish!! Oh get sweet shrimp with caviar, a beef course, salmon, scallop, so much uni, and toro!!!! The service was great and the dinner flowed easily and quickly. The vibe was also cool- they played good music and the chef was so nice. I enjoyed this dinner immensely and this is the best omakase deal i've found in NYC!

Worst dining experience I've ever had, prices in restaurant doesn't reflect what it says online. Found a parasite in my dish and asked to speak to a manager, they said unless I wanted to go to the back and lick the dishes clean there was no way a manager was coming out to assist. They also mentioned I would never amount to my counterpart who was also dining with me. That seems to be maybe because they are at "celebrity" status. I didn't think that these people would care so much about who this person was added Photo below for more context :

Terrible restaurant, terrible service, DO NOT COME HERE. I asked to speak to a manager and was told that unless I wanted to go to the back and lick the plates themselves or else they weren't speaking to a manager. Was told I would never amount to my counterpart who was dinning in with me. Since then we have broken up and I would think they only said this because of their "celebrity" status. The whole reason for me asking for a manager to begin with was because i found a parasite on my plate.

My girlfriend and I ordered 18 course omakase and we were served with the check before getting all 18 pieces on the menu including uni and fatty tuna. When I asked the chef why we were not getting uni and fatty tuna and then chef turned around and said "if you want it I can give it to you" like he was doing us a favor. I asked chef if there was a different course than the 18 pc and he said no. If I had not noticed chef serving uni and fatty tuna to other customers we would have been served only 16 or less possibly but was charged for the 18 course. I was verifying why we were not served all 18 pieces like other customers and that's when this nasty, obnoxious waitress walked up to me with serious attitude and attempted to gaslight me. Gaslighting paying customer is unacceptable. Must be fired. COUNT YOUR SUSHI PIECES!!!!! Never going back. The nasty waitress was the gross cherry on top of a very bad cake.

Exquisite sushi. Si Thu was so kind and such a fun host, and he gave us extra course and explained each piece. The vibes are good and it's a total deal for what it is (probably wouldn't do any add ons though). Would totally recommend :)

Don't waste your time. Made it Shiso and never got seated. Terrible service. A restaurant full of people and no food being served. People asking to leave and heard someone was complaining about water tasting weird. How do you get water wrong? Was told service is backed up... backed up how? It's literally omakase YOU DONT NEEED TO COOK THE DARN FOOD. What a waste of time. Cheers

Most disappointing and unprofessional omakase restaurant I've been to. Like other reviews said, the waitstaff and sushi chefs are really unprofessional and disorganized. We waited 30+ mins after we sat down at the counter to be asked for our order and the sushi chef seemed like he wasn't planning on serving us (he had to be alerted by the waitstaff to begin, even though we sat right in front of him). My partner has a mild wasabi allergy and the chef seemed to have a lot of animosity towards this dietary restriction. After mistakenly giving my partner a wasabi piece, we kindly asked for a new one without wasabi, and the chef in anger took all the pieces he had been making AND the pieces already on our plates and threw them into the trash aggressively saying that everything from the soy sauce, toppings, brushes, serving spoons, etc. was contaminated, and then left the counter for 10 mins. This type of cross contamination should never even happen in the first place in any decent sushi kitchen?? There are so many similarly priced omakase experiences in NYC that are equally good value but have professional and amazing service. I would not pay even the Pulsd promotion price of $99 for 18 piece course for 2 to go here again.

Dina G.

Yelp
We weren't told what was what in the omakase that was served all at once just because we weren't sitting at the bar. No complimentary sake as promised either and the price went up to $95 per person, which wasn't worth it to be honest.

Yelp
0/10. Not Omakase. Zero "French" infusion. I am honestly still in shock regarding my dinner at Shisho for Valentine's Day earlier this week and how this place passes themselves off as an Omakase place. We saw 3 couples walk out during our meal because of the awful service, and literally every other party was audibly complaining, so I'm shocked this place has as good of reviews as it does. It's seriously misleading and I really hope whoever reads this takes their $340+ (cost of a meal for 2 without tip) and spends it somewhere worth the money. The service was particularly AWFUL. This was the only time in my life that I didn't leave a tip. When I walked out, I half expected someone to pop out and ask me to sign a release form because I thought this was some sort of TV show prank. From what I experienced, they hired 3 high schoolers who had never worked a day in their lives and made Valentine's Day their first night on the job. Everyone was eating the same 4 course $150 pp "Omakase" menu, and they still couldn't manage to bring anyone their food in the correct order. I left without receiving my final course, and at that point I didn't even care because I wanted to leave so badly. I think the absolute worst part is when they served us the "Omakase" (14 pieces of nigiri thrown on a plate, sushi-deluxe style and DEFINITELY not omakase..) the waitress couldn't tell us what fish we were being served. Our total bill was $340, and for that, I expect the wait staff to know what they are serving at the bare minimum. When things just kept getting worse, I asked if I could box my food to go. The waitress told me No. (Nobu will box your food up, but not Sisho!) Moral of the story, don't go here. There's like 10 amazing places on this block and Shisho is definitely not one of them. They somehow trap you into eating here once with a nicely set up online reservation system (that they don't honor when you arrive), but I would be shocked if anyone ever chose to eat here twice. @Shisho If you're reading this, I'd love a refund for the ruined Valentine's Day!

The service was terrible. We waited for an hour and only the appetizer came. We were seated in an underground room that was very dark. We requested to be moved to a table upstairs, but the place was so cramped there was barely any place to put our coat. At the 40-minute mark, we finally got our water. The hot water however smelled terrible and we really weren't sure if the cup was washed. The appetizer came, but it was the wrong order (we had ordered two different choices, but two orders of the same plate came). It didn't taste great. At the 50 minute mark we wanted to leave and save both parties some time. Unfortunately that took another 10 minutes for us to get the check. Would not recommend anyone to come to this place.

Steve and Noah amazing chefs, the others that have said things here may have had a completely different experience... which may keep ppl from coming here. However, my husband and I had a wonderful experience. We have omakase very often, every piece had different flavors, the team was very delightful and considerate to our accommodations. The chefs were so sweet, you can tell they were grateful for the opportunity. They were so passionate and were open to feedback , and were probably the kindest chefs we've encountered. The place is fairly new, so be patient with their growth process. I believe the owner came in during our experience and she was making things happen, also pleasant. My only feedback is implementing a drink menu- other than that 4 pieces out of the 15 were immaculate. It is honestly hard to get 2 favorites from any omakase, so that was nice! We are excited to come back and excited to see this place and people flourish!

I had a quiet experience as the restaurant was not very busy. The fish was delicious, and each bite melted in the mouth. Definitely recommend for a quicker omakase meal.

I rarely ever write Yelp reviews but really felt a need to write one so that you aren't fooled by influencer's social media reviews of this place. I learned of this place from a IG reels highlighting the most affordable omakase in NYC - $50 for 15 pcs - honestly at this price point even if it wasn't great I wouldn't complain but when my friends and I arrived, they updated their menu to $65 for 15 pc and $85 for 18pc. We really wanted uni so we opted for the 18pc - big mistake. Most of the pieces were underwhelming, tasteless, and extremely tiny. I also felt the chef preparing the sushi was all over the place, kinda sloppy - no attention to details. The toppings were falling off the pieces and not balanced on top of the fish. I usually take pictures of each piece and I had to stop taking pictures on the 3rd piece because it just was not picture worthy. The check ended up being $100+ per person. For this price, I would definitely take my money elsewhere - I feel robbed and would not ever come back here again or recommend to anyone
